Accreditation is an accreditation status granted when a currently accredited program
is in compliance with the ARC-PA Standards.

Continued Accreditation
remains in effect until the program closes or withdraws from the accreditation process
or until accreditation is withdrawn for failure to comply with the Standards.
The approximate date for the next comprehensive review of the program by the ARC-PA
will be September 2018.
